Chapter 673 Unwilling to Give Up (Pest Leader 1/2)
Although Noel has excellent abilities and potential, he has only played for three years after all, and he wasted his time in the 76ers in the past two years. This time he followed the Lakers to enter the playoffs for the first time. This reaction was unexpected, but it was reasonable.
But the main reason for the game was not Noel. After all, the referee gave the same fouls both times. The referee who really changed the game seemed to be so determined as in the regular season.
"It seems that our opponent in the next round has come out. We will chase 9 points in 3 minutes. The opponent is the Warriors. This is simply impossible." Smith looked at the score on the court and turned to James and said.
James nodded, but his eyes unconsciously looked at the Lakers' bench.
"Don't worry, we still have time. There are still 3 minutes to play. Forget everything before. Don't look at the scores or care about the difference. We try our best to defend. Tang, now you have to stand up, you can only stand up." Bilups glanced at the players and finally fixed his eyes on Tang Shuai.
Tang Shuai nodded and chased 9 points in 3 minutes, which was very difficult.
"We will play a joint defense later..." After receiving Tang Shuai's affirmative reaction, Billups then took out the tactical board and continued to arrange the tactics. And he didn't care about the offense at this time, and he came up with the defensive arrangement.
After the timeout, the Lakers' offense, Tang Shuai took the ball to the frontcourt, and the Warriors' double-team came up. He passed the ball to Gasol, who pulled out, and then he called Deng to come and roll him. When he ran to the position, he directly raised his hand and shot after receiving Gasol's pass.
"Bang!"
The Warriors were very careful about Tang Shuai at this time. Although they were running without the ball, they all helped defend themselves.
Gasol showed his experience at a critical moment, striving to catch the frontcourt rebounds, and then went back to Tang Shuai.
Tang Shuai made a shot and was about to grab the rebound. At this time, he received Gasol's pass and rushed to pull up and then shot.
"Swish!"
This goal hit steadily.
The difference was forced to close to 7 points.
Curry dribbled into the frontcourt, but he did not rush to attack, but slowly suppressed the time from the outside.
Sure enough, as Smith said, the Warriors play f4, and as long as the rhythm is suppressed, the Lakers will have no chance at all.
Time passed little by little, and Batum tried to intercept the ball several times but failed.
After the game was spent less than 10 seconds left, Curry called Durant to come and do a pick-and-roll. After the ball was dismantled, he broke into the basket with two steps, and then he shook his hand when he encountered double-teaming.
The Lakers have a very good defense in this ball, and Durant has not had a good chance of receiving the ball.
The offensive time is approaching, and Durant can only take action against the defense.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, the basketball hit the front of the basket and bounced high, but it still fell into the net bag the next second.
Durant's attack still hits!
The ball hit, and a burst of excited cheers suddenly broke out on the scene, and even Durant himself laughed.
Originally, even if the ball was not scored, it would be successful if it was spent. But if you get another balloon of luck at this time, God really wants them to win.
This time, the score difference was still 9 points, but more than half a minute had been spent. The game time between the two sides was only 2 minutes or more seconds left, and the score difference was still a long 9 points.
At this moment, those fans who were originally looking forward to the Lakers' reversal completely gave up. They chased 9 points in 2 minutes, and the Warriors also focused on defending Tang Shuai, which was simply impossible.
Many fans have already begun to comment online, saying that the Lakers have succeeded in playing this step, and have been eliminated this year and will definitely have a chance to take revenge next year.
In fact, other Lakers players have given up a little. Durant's lucky balloon is really hurting morale.
Only Tang Shuai, he looked up at the scoring machine, then dribbled the ball and advanced to the frontcourt.
“deen color!”
The fans on the scene cheered loudly for the home team. The shouting at this time was no longer the kind of cheering the home team, but a kind of celebration of the home team's victory.
When Tang Shuai arrived at the frontcourt, he gritted his teeth and rushed into the inside without even calling the pick-and-roll.
The Warriors are now playing time, and he must do everything possible to shorten offensive time.
As soon as he made a breakthrough, the Warriors' defense immediately contracted.
He didn't pass the ball, and he saw the opportunity and stopped and pulled out in an emergency.
At this time, there was only one Gasol in the Lakers at the basket, and Gasol was still double-teamed. He was about to get the ball, and if he didn't score, he would basically have no rebounds. This was completely blocking his hand.
"Swish!"
With two points, Tang Shuai scored 2 points.
The reaction on the spot was ridiculed. At this time, 2 points were a drop in the bucket. The Warriors beat two more rounds and the game ended.
Curry beat the Warriors' offense for another 24 seconds on the outside, which was somewhat similar to the previous second, and he didn't attack until the last moment.
The Lakers' defense was in place under Xiao's roar on the sidelines, but as the offensive time was about to come, the whistle of the referee on the sidelines sounded.
Gasol's foul was made.
This was simply desperate. Although there were not many fouls, the sound of the whistle meant that the Lakers' defense in the first 24 seconds was completely gone, which was equivalent to giving the Warriors another 14 seconds of offensive time.
The score difference is 7 points, and there is only 1 and a half minutes left. These 14 seconds are equivalent to killing the Lakers' final hope of winning.
The penalty on the sidelines cannot be changed. Thompson makes the ball and Curry dribbles from the outside to suppress the time.
This time, he was directly pressed to death, and at the last moment, he used Thompson's pick-and-roll to score a three-pointer.
"Bang!"
Amid the uproar at the scene, Curry's three-pointer popped up again.
But soon the fans returned to their calm expressions.
At this time, the game was already in my hands. Curry entered the game is the icing on the cake, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't enter.
The game is about to enter the last minute.
Gasol grabbed the defensive rebound and threw his hand to Tang Shuai. Tang Shuai rushed to the frontcourt. His degree was fast and he rushed to the frontcourt three-point line. Without any teammates coming to the basket, he directly chose a three-pointer with an emergency stop.
Cole showed a smile on the corner of his mouth. Tang Shuai was still too young and was so anxious to grab a three-pointer. If he didn't score, he wouldn't have any rebounds. This was not a chasing point, but it was simply a ruining the last chance to chase points.
"Swish!"
But the next second, his smile froze. Tang Shuai's chaotic three-pointer actually made a goal!
Tang Shuai only made three three-pointers in this game, and the Warriors still had a 7-point lead, which made everyone, including Cole, forget that Tang Shuai is the top three-pointer for two consecutive years. Although this ball is very sudden, he is still very confident in the open three-pointer after all. This is also the reason why he dares to shoot at the basket without his teammates.
The Warriors called a timeout.
Kerr is still very stable. At this time, there is still one minute left in the game. Although 4 points is a big advantage, Tang Shuai's sudden 3-pointer forced him to be cautious.
Tang Shuai's three-pointer suddenly exploded online, with 7 to 4 points, and his hope of winning increased significantly.
The fans outside were excited, but the fans on the scene were nervous. As fans of the home team, no one wanted to give up the victory they had.
After the timeout, the Warriors continued to suppress time, Curry protected the ball from the outside, watching the time pass by little by little.
At this time, the Lakers players were obviously anxious. Although the score difference was only 4 points, the ball was in the hands of the Warriors. When this wave of time was over, there were only a few seconds left. Even if the Warriors did not score, the Lakers still had little hope to win.
However, the Lakers did not go up to double-team or tried to steal. It was not that the Lakers players didn't want to, but that Billups had arrangements. With Curry's ball-control ability, going up to double-team was a chance.
Curry pressed the time for about 10 seconds before he asked Durant to lift the pick-and-roll.
Durant is tall and big, with a pick-and-roll effect perfect. Curry thrusts past him and gets up and wants to thrust into the basket.
This ball is different from the previous one. He broke out very decisively. It seems that even if he doesn't make progress, he will commit a foul.
Such a choice is obviously arranged by Kohl and is also the safest choice. With Curry's breakthrough and ball-control ability, the possibility of this ball being fouled is extremely high.
"Bang!"
A crisp sound made no one expect that at this moment, with a crisp sound, the ball in Curry's hand was directly shot out.
The fans on the scene were stunned, and the players on both sides were stunned, even Billups standing on the sidelines were stunned.
But the next second he shouted: "Get the ball! Grab the ball!"
Everything happened too quickly, and the players on both sides didn't understand what was going on, but the referee didn't whistle and did not foul, and the people on both sides immediately snatched a ball.
Because Curry was snapped off the ball at the moment of breaking through, Deng Li was at the closest position and his reaction was fast. The moment he grabbed the ball, he directly pressed the ball under his arms and then signaled a timeout to the referee.
The moment he fell down, other players rushed over, and Deng's brows were frowned as the words "Dachuan".
Fortunately, the referee saw it and immediately blew the whistle, and he was relieved.
When the Lakers players helped Deng up from the ground, the veteran was holding his waist, and I don’t know if he was injured.
The Lakers players helped Deng walk to the sidelines. At this time, the goal just now was played back on the LED screen on the spot.
There was an uproar in the scene.
The team members looked up and saw what had just happened.
Curry walked in, and Tang Shuai came from the right to assist in defense. There was no chance, but Durant blocked Tang Shuai behind him while blocking Curry's vision.
It was this accident that Curry didn't notice when Tang Shuai intercepted the ball. At that time, Curry was preparing to deal with the double-team of other Lakers players in front of him, and lost a brief control of the ball.
The steal was just a mistake.
God seems to be fair. After helping the Warriors with a balloon, he finally favored the Lakers.
The game time is 42 seconds left, and the Lakers hold the offensive power and are 4 points behind. After experiencing a nearly final situation, the suspense reappears. (To be continued.)8
